Result: Win
This is a 7* RUN-LINE DESTRUCTION on the LA Dodgers.

I played the Dodgers on the money line yesterday and while it took them a bit to get going, they'd eventually pull away down the stretch for the comfortable victory. And now with league wins leader Clayton Kershaw about to take the mound, I look for an outright beatdown here and definitely feel the value lies in laying the 1.5 runs in this situation. Kershaw (19-3, 1.70 ERA) gave up two runs over eight frames in a 4-2 win over San Francisco on Sunday. Kershaw leads the league in many catetgories, including strikeouts per nine innings (10.63), opponents batting average (.190) and WHIP (0.83). Kershaw has won five straight behind a minuscule 1.13 ERA and not surprisingly the Dodgers have won 18 of his last 19 outings. Kershaw has dominated the Cubs throughout his career, he's 3-2 with a 1.60 ERA lifetime against them. And that's bad news for Cubs scheduled starter Edwin Jackson (6-14, 6.09 ERA) who hasn't thrown since August 20th when he was shelled for seven runs off eight hits over just 2 2/3's innings in an 8-3 loss to the Giants. Jackson is a confirmed gas can, he owns the worst ERA in baseball among 96 pitchers who have started at least 25 games. The Cubs bullpen looked brutal yesterday and is going to be called upon early today with the volatile Jackson on the mound, I think the surging visitors take full advantage; play on LA on the RUN LINE.
